Vulcan Pickleball continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the world of pickleball with the launch of the Generation 2 VPRO FLIGHT Pickleball. This newly engineered ball has been meticulously designed to enhance performance on any court and for players of all skill levels. Extensive testing, involving both professional athletes and sports engineers, ensured that the ball’s advanced features meet the demands of the rapidly evolving sport.
One of the key highlights of the VPRO FLIGHT ball is its remarkable adaptability. It is crafted with an ultra-pure resin formulation, making it both highly responsive and durable, regardless of playing style or conditions. With its distinctive 40-hole design and high-visibility yellow color, the VPRO FLIGHT offers consistent performance across various courts and playing environments. This ball is not just about durability but also about providing players with the precision and control needed to enhance their gameplay.
In recent years, pickleball has evolved significantly, with faster paddles becoming more common, thereby influencing how balls interact with gameplay. Dusty Thornton, VP of Sales and Marketing at Vulcan Pickleball, explained how this shift inspired the creation of the VPRO FLIGHT. “Pickleball gear, particularly paddles, has evolved rapidly, yet the ball design remained mostly unchanged. As gameplay speed increased, we saw an opportunity to align the ball’s design with today’s faster, more dynamic game.”
The VPRO FLIGHT ball is manufactured using cutting-edge techniques in a state-of-the-art facility. Every stage of the production process is carefully controlled to ensure quality and consistency. From precision molding to temperature-regulated stamping and rigorous testing for roundness, hardness, and bounce, the attention to detail is unprecedented. Each ball even features a laser-printed lot code for improved traceability, a first in the industry.
Connor Pardoe, CEO of the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA), emphasized how Vulcan’s commitment to innovation has transformed the game. “The VPRO FLIGHT ball allows professional players to perform at their best. It’s clear that Vulcan is leading the way in designing equipment that matches the needs of modern pickleball.”
Vulcan’s new VPRO FLIGHT ball is now available for purchase through major retailers, including Amazon, Pickleball Central, and Dick’s Sporting Goods, as well as directly from their website. With its innovative design and adaptability, the VPRO FLIGHT is set to become a staple for pickleball players at every level.
